"It may be on the field, it may be off the field," said Hyde. "It might be something as simple as where to eat at while at away games. I try to help these guys, especially the young guys, like Tre' White. He's going to be playing a lot, so I wanted to let him know how it's going to be, and what he should expect. You know, just try to share my knowledge that way."

As camp comes to a close at St. John Fisher, the Bills defensive backfield has undergone quite a transformation. At the close of last season, the Bills were relying on the talents of Stephon Gilmore, Ronald Darby, Aaron Williams, and Corey Graham. All four of those players are no longer with the Bills. Williams played a big role on the back end, guiding the defense and organizing coverages.

Hyde was brought in to fill the role Williams' once commanded. Not only is Hyde responsible for organizing the defensive backfield, he's also acted as a veteran presence for some of the younger players on the Bills defense. Players like Tre'Davious White, and Jordan Poyer have bounds of potential, but lack experience in the NFL. For this reason, one of the most important roles Hyde will play this season is teaching and mentoring the young defensive backs on the Bills team.

So far in training camp, Hyde has done a masterful job in guiding the defense. White and Poyer have flourished in their roles, and Hyde has led the defense effectively from the backend.

2 - Eagles GM wrestled with losing Matthews General manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, Howie Roseman, told NFL.com how tough it was to part with the talented Jordan Matthews. A blockbuster trade, the Bills dealt Ronald Darby, who was adapting to a zone coverage scheme. In return, they gained the productive receiver Matthews as well as a third-round pick. Roseman said the trade was certainly difficult to make.

"We had these conversations with Buffalo throughout training camp and as we went into the first preseason game and we found a match," Roseman said. "Hard trade to make.Jordan Matthews, extremely productive, historically productive as a Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver, and then you're giving up a third-round pick, too."

The trade was difficult for both sides. Darby was a second-round pick, and had a tremendous rookie season. Although he faltered last season, he showed that he has potential to thrive in the NFL. Matthews was also a second-round pick, and one of the most productive receivers the Eagles organization had ever seen.

In the end, the Eagles decided to part with Matthews, and a third-round pick in the hopes of bolstering their defense. The wide receiver depleted Eagles gave up one of the most productive wideouts in SEC history, and a player that totaled 2,637 yards and 19 touchdowns in three seasons.
